Product description
“Grandilflor” is a spectacular variation of Hydrangea. This varietal has billowing clusters of mophead flowers. These clusters form on racemes or stalks and are overloaded with blooms, to such a degree that the branches lower due to the weight. They have serrated, obovate-shaped leaves which are of a dark green colour.
Of course, these plants are well regarded for their wonderful blooms, which can be used in flower arrangements, as well as dried and kept. They are also valued for their ability to contribute to the overall beauty of a mixed hedge row.
Valued for its hardiness, it can tolerate even colder temperatures than other Hydrangeas. As well, these plants work well growing on their own to becoming a full-sized bush or tree.
Although these plants can tolerate sunny areas, they prefer partially shaded positions. This better allows the ground to remain moist and cool. As such, mulching is recommended. It is important to keep their environment well-watered and well-drained.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Protect hydrangeas in winter by adding a thick layer of mulch around the base to insulate the roots. In colder climates, cover the plant with burlap or a frost blanket to shield it from freezing temperatures and harsh winds.
How to Water
Water hydrangeas deeply, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues. Water at the base early in the morning or late in the evening, and mulch to help retain moisture.
How to Plant
Choose a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, and well-draining, moist soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the plant, backfill with soil, firm gently, and water well. Mulch around the base to retain moisture.
